Just caught the new Woody Allen romancer, Midnight In Paris — and while admiring the Van Gogh Starry Night inspiration for the movie poster, I couldn’t help but wonder if Van Gogh were alive today, what kind of one sheets would he create?

Considering his legendary slicing off the ear incident, I certainly hope he wouldn’t choose the blood-and-gore route like all of those horribly graphic Saw posters.

I know when most cinephiles think of Ingmar Bergman, they think of brilliant, but deep, dark, and depressing black and white films…and maybe some quips from Woody Allen. But leave it up to these Italian movie posters to see the bright and beautiful side in his work!
